    I unfortunately spent a lot of money on this cleanser. I was really looking for that miracle product and the sales lady at Sephora said its a best seller. I gave it about three weeks and saw...

    HG status! I am on my second bottle. My first was the 8 oz and it lasted me 4 months, even with everyday use. Love the creamy texture and how clean, fresh, and smooth my face feels post-washing....

    I love this cleanser! I bought the largest size before which was definitely the best value. When I ran out, I was very short on money and bought a Neutrogena cleanser instead. My skin gradually got...

    This cleanser does a good job at removing makeup, but it dries my skin out. On the plus side, it didn't make me break out. I don't love the price either, so I won't be purchasing this again.

    I love this cleanser. It smells freshly soapy, and it cleans my combo skin without drying it out or leaving a residue. It's thick and it doesn't foam very much. A little goes a long way, making it...

    Not "pure" at all. Totally irritated my skin. Made me blotchy looking. I now use CeraVe and it has been great.

    For what it is, I think this cleanser is overpriced. It's very nice and gentle, but Burt's Bees makes a cleanser very similar that actually foams a little better. It's worth a try, but I wouldn't...
